Up Over Down Hit
is there anyway to have more than 1 frame on the same category? that i would be able to have a motion on the button with out changing frames on the main time line?
thanks ahead. z00m

Nope, you are limited to four states and four keyframes with a button. you can add more but they wont do anything after the 4th. Take a look through this forum for a thread about the "glimp" effect. I stuck a demo in with an animated button. The trick with there was to have the button control a movie clip it sat on top of. That gives the appearance the button is animating.

Thats one way which works well if the button animation has more than one part etc. If you just want the button to swoop across the screen independantly of the main time line then just put it in its own movie and animate it there, or use AS to control it.

if you get your head around moving it via AS you can use something like setInterval() to continuously call a function.
